Container precursor with shaping coefficient, especially for a single dimensionally stable food or drink product container

A container precursor comprising a sheet, wherein the sheet

• a) comprises a layer sequence comprising, as mutually superposed layers, from an inner face of the sheet to an outer face of the sheet,
• i) an inner polymer layer,
• ii) a barrier layer, and
• iii) a carrier layer;
• b) comprises a first longitudinal edge and a further longitudinal edge,
• wherein the first longitudinal edge is bonded to the further longitudinal edge forming a longitudinal seam of the container precursor;
• c) comprises, in the following sequence in the direction from the first longitudinal edge to the further longitudinal edge
• i) a first longitudinal groove,
• ii) a second longitudinal groove,
• iii) a third longitudinal groove, and
• iv) a fourth longitudinal groove,
• wherein a first longitudinal fold along the first longitudinal groove is characterized by a first internal angle of at least 165°;
• wherein a second longitudinal fold along the second longitudinal groove is characterized by a second internal angle of not more than 15°;
• wherein a third longitudinal fold along the third longitudinal groove is characterized by a third internal angle of at least 165°;
• wherein a fourth longitudinal fold along the fourth longitudinal groove is characterized by a fourth internal angle of not more than 15°;
• wherein the container precursor can be shaped to form a jacket structure by folding along the first longitudinal groove, the second longitudinal groove, the third longitudinal groove and the fourth longitudinal groove;
• wherein the container precursor is characterized by a shaping coefficient within a range from 8 to 30 m2/kg,
• wherein the carrier layer of the sheet comprises an oriented material,
• wherein the oriented material is characterized by a direction of orientation,
• wherein the direction of orientation forms an angle of orientation with one selected from the group consisting of the first longitudinal groove, the second longitudinal groove, the third longitudinal groove and the fourth longitudinal groove, or with a combination of at least two thereof,
• wherein the angle of orientation is within a range from 60 to 120°.
